New to Nitro On-road
 

Hey all Im looking to get into nitro on-road racing. I'm going with HB just not sure what class yet. I'd like some info on what I need as far as set-up gear. Novarossi is my choice of engine and pipe,tires Im not sure on, body will be protoform.

I believe you are talking about 1/8.
A nice set of control, set up system,

Let's us know what you have. We are here to share.

Well 1/8 or 1/10.

Check your local track and see what is the avg brand used much easier to get support and help

I live in omaha and there is no asphalt track here just in Lincoln. Im wanting to go to the HoA series.

how about what do you have now?

I got nothing right now. I use to race 8th scale nitro buggy about 12 years ago.

See what is running as stated. Getting into 1/8 can be a steep learning curve, which can be eased by running 1/10 200mm instead. Also considering you used to run buggies you may be used to the way a 4wd handles, and the 1/10 cars are much more forgiving to driver error vs. their larger 1/8 on road versions. See also if the local track might have some used cars which can also lessen the expense.

Here is a listing based on durability

Serpent
Mugen,capricorn,shepherd

Also coming out soon Arc 1/8 looks interesting

I was looking at the HB R10

For the setup system you could buy for 1/10:
